How to play Kakuro
Kakuro is similar to both sudoku and traditional crossword games.
Like a Crossword
Similar to crosswords, Kakuro has clues both across and down. When you put numbers in the vacant squares, the sum must equal the given clues. This is why the game is sometimes called 'cross sums'.
Like a Sudoku
Just like a sudoku, you cannot have the same number in a row or column. If a row is broken into 2 areas by a clue, then you can have the same number occuring once in each of the separate areas.
Other variations
Still looking for more puzzles? How about a variation on sudoku? Try Wordoku. Wordoku uses letters instead of numbers and has a hidden 9-letter word! For crossword puzzles, try Free Crossword PUzzles. 2 free crosswords (Easy, Hard) daily.

Talk about anything and everything, but nice to each other - you don't have to agree, but this is not the place for personal attacks. As Sir Paul McCartney said: 'I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird' (longer explanation). Enjoy!
Used Orphans and possibilities

not too good .... solved via the longest chain possible (ie no cells, tried with one cell, and went all the way to the last cell before the contradiction emerged).

(used my last resort determined calculation method on this one, btw)

Once I resorted to orphans it was quite straight forward. But that may have been due to the 15 minutes of work I put in before using orphans.

Even with orphans, I can't see a way ahead. Gave up. I don't like guesswork.

Joe + 1. A lot of elimination work. Based on the comments I tried orphans without possibilities but brain overloaded.

I was stuck, even with orphans, and ended up splitting the puzzle into an upper and a lower half. By addition and subtraction, the upper six cells of 21D and 38D = 22 in total, the lower six = 37. Then the eliminations can start ...

I had never thought of approaching these puzzles that way. Interesting.

I thought it would be a long slog, but it just fell out. Orphans helped I guess, but I always use orphans.
